The Medical Forensic Examination

If you decide to seek medical attention, the county SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) will be activated. SART is comprised of a Forensic Nurse Examiner, a certified Sexual Violence Advocate and a law enforcement officer if requested by the survivor.

All exam findings are completely confidential and can only be released with the written consent of the survivor. Evidence may be held for 90 days after the examination, allowing the survivor time to make a final decision about legal options.

It is important to note that male survivors of sexual assault are also offered the services of the SART Team, and are encouraged to get medical attention.
